The Zappas On Video Games
By Susin Shapiro, pp 32-35


JOYSTIK: Why did you consent to this interview?
FRANK:

JOYSTIK:
Do you ever play them?
FRANK:
No, but I love to listen to them. I like rooms full of that sound. It's a very interesting environment. When I was coming back from my European tour I had a layover in New York. I went into the video-game room at the airport and walked around with a tape recorder, recording the whole room going at once. Then I listened to it on earphones on the plane home. It was great. But I'm not interested in "plooking" buttons and blowing things up.
JOYSTIK:
